Roxby joined a couple dozen protestors at lunchtime outside the Hobby Lobby store on Carl T. Jones Drive in Huntsville. The group handed out free condoms to passersby to promote safe sex.

Despite the honking horns and occasional jeer, Roxby said she was there to express her support for a "woman's right to control her own body within the confines of the law." She described her reaction to the high court's ruling with one word: irate.

"I yelled, I screamed at the television, but then when I calmed down, I realized with the way things are going and the way the deck's stacked against us right now, it's not surprising," she told AL.com.

In opposition, a handful of Hobby Lobby fans created their own signs to show their support for the ruling. Catherine Robert, a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church, was among those in attendance at the protest.

"I am passionate about this cause because I think it's in the First Amendment that we're supposed to have the right to religious freedom and our government is trying to suppress that right," she said. "So we're thankful for companies like Hobby Lobby that defend it and stand up against it in spite of public dissent."

Knights of Columbus worker and retired NASA engineer Thomas Stuart said he was there to protest the protestors because he supports the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was signed into law by former President Bill Clinton in 1993.

The Supreme Court cited the religious-freedom act in its decision to side with Hobby Lobby last week, he said.

"I do believe that Christians and Jews in this country and also other religions – Buddhists, Hindus – are under attack," he said. "There's more Christians so it's more vocal against Christians and Christian beliefs. That's my view, and it's unfortunate that we've gotten to the point that you have to take cases to the Supreme Court to uphold the law."

Until the clinic can reopen in a larger building in northwest Huntsville, Norlin said she's working to raise funds to help local women get access to abortion services in the Nashville area.

"I came out today to protest Hobby Lobby because I'm very concerned about some of the decisions that are being made in our government supporting corporations above the individual citizens," she said. "I don't feel it's safe to be a woman in Republican-controlled states now. I don't feel comfortable and I really wouldn't want to be pregnant in a state like this."

SCOTUS ruled that Hobby Lobby was not required to provide Plan B (morning after pill), Ella, Copper Intrauterine Device and IUD. Read more about the case here.

St. Louis resident Loretta Combs, a member of the Catholic Church who is in Huntsville visiting her sister, held a "DEFEND LIFE" sign as heavy traffic passed the shopping center on Carl T. Jones Drive. She said the "government ought to back out and let businesses run their businesses."

"Your first choice is not to get pregnant," she said. "After that, if a girl's going to have her baby, we'll take care of her. We'll put her up, we'll pay for every medical bill. Nobody has to do away with that mistake if you want to call it that. We never would."

Hobby Lobby protestor Melissa Davis, an Athens resident who stopped in mid-interview to yell "God bless you" at an angry driver, said she is a volunteer with the Alabama Reproductive Rights Advocates.

"We think that corporations should be kept separate from churches and that employees of corporations have religious freedom as well to use their compensation how they like," she said.
